Coolant in the oil

Just pure water can give the oil a chocolate milkshake appearance. When
the mechanics drained the oil, they didn't find any of the green stuff.
I found out that actual antifreeze gives the oil more of a mayo
appearance (oil with white spots).

no it looks like baby**** or chocolate milk.............

Wow, look who's an expert, all of a sudden.

Dan, Dan, Dan, you really need to get out more.

I wouldn't be surprised if the dang thing outlives him. It IS a Chrysler
2.5, after all. One of the most abuse-tolerant engines made.

Yes, they are pretty tough. Crude, noizy, clunky things, but tough as
nails.

As for water in the oil, MOST bearing materials are pretty forgiving
of tap water, while many are totally intollerant of glycol.
An engine can be run with pure water in the crankcase under no load
for quite some time without failing. (surprising how long some will
run with no oil, or ANYTHING in the crankcase) but glycol will take
out bearings very quickly.

Condensation, which is pure water, can give oil that chocolate shake
look and consistency, along with the white foamy "whipped cream" foam
in the rocker covers.

good come back Lawrence!!!

Anything that can make nearly 200 HP per liter (heavily turbocharged,
but with a stock bottom end) is hardly "crude." The 2.5 was actually
very silky for a 4-popper (balance shafts). The 2.2 was a paint shaker,
but no more than any other non-balance-shafted inline 4. And I'll take
"tough as nails" over "unobtrusive but fragile" any day of the week.

I don't recall if Chrysler was using aluminum bearings on the 2.5 or not
(I know that the 5.2 and 5.9 definitely had them by 1992 if not
considrerably earlier). As someone else pointed out, aluminum bearings
don't mind glycol any more than they mind water. Its possible that
virtually no measurable damage at all was done if the engine did have
aluminum bearings.
